Re: Smoke gets in the rye? -- and a carousel ride |
keep forgetting about the Jerome connection - nice!
among 700 other songs, Kern also wrote Ol' Man River and the jazz standard, All The Things You Are which has inspired jazz artists to this day
this lyric reminds me of the scene with Holden and Phoebe at the end of Catcher...
"Midnight, on a carousel ride
Reaching for the gold ring, down inside
Never could reach
It just slips away, when I try."

Re: Smoke gets in the rye? -- and a carousel ride |
Want another one?
Salinger's short story "Uncle Wiggly in Connecticut" was made into a critically-panned film called "My Foolish Heart."
I'm amazed by how many of you all don't like Catcher. That book really spoke to me as a teenager. He may be a whiner, but as someone said above, "weren't we all?" And by the end of the book, his attitude starts to change. He's growing up. I think that's the real message.
It reminds me a bit of "A Clockwork Orange" (the original book, not the one released in the US, and certainly not the movie). By the end, Alex starts to mature. He basically outgrows his violent, rebellious youth and becomes a man.
